105/106 Connector - FS 106A

Trail Overview

105/106 Connector - FS 106A is a gravel forest service road in the northwest corner of the Kentucky section, Kentucky Lake side, of the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area. This is one of the shortest examples of a Forest Road within LBL that connects two more prominent roads in the area, the Twin Lakes South FS 105 and Lyon County Park Road FS 106. Despite the short track, where the 106 and 106A meet there is an old homestead that brings some interest and purpose outside of logistics to the trail. The road is laid out on a hill on either end leading to a valley in the center, featuring a mostly gravel track with mild erosion and soft dirt spots where the gravel has faded.
